       4. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 3 , wherein the executing the DCV further comprises:
 for each of the one or more first view components,
 creating an entry in a results view definition, and 
 adding the first view component to the entry. 
 
 
     
     
       5. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 4 , wherein the rendering the third page view on the device comprises:
 rendering the results view definition for display on the device. 
 
     
     
       6. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 5 , wherein the executing the DCV further comprises:
 for each first view component:
 determining whether or not there is a universal resource locator (URL) associated with the first view component; and 
 if there is a URL associated with the first view component, adding the URL to an entry in the results view definition associated with the first view component. 
 
 
     
     
       7. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 5 , wherein the results view definition is sorted alphabetically. 
     
     
       8. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 1 , wherein
 the DCV identifies a collection URI; and 
 the collecting one or more first view components associated with the first view definition comprises:
 collecting one or more entity URIs associated with the collection URI; 
 collecting one or more field URIs associated with the one or more entity URIs; and 
 collecting one or more view components associated with the one or more field URIs. 
 
 
     
     
       9. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 8 , wherein the collecting one or more entity URIs associated with the collection URI comprises
 accessing a collection entities table in which a plurality of collection URIs are mapped to a plurality of entity URIs. 
 
     
     
       10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 8 , wherein the collecting one or more field URIs associated with the one or more entity URIs comprises
 accessing an entity fields table in which a plurality of entity URIs are mapped to a plurality of field URIs. 
 
     
     
       11. A computer-implemented method comprising:
 receiving, by a computing system, a page view request on a device; 
 determining, by the computing system, that the device is in an offline state; and 
 in response to determining that the device is in an offline state:
 identifying, by the computing system, a dynamic client view (DCV) stored locally on the device associated with the page view request, wherein the DCV includes a first view definition and a second view definition associated with a first page view of an account associated with a first entity and a second page view of a second entity rendered while the device was in an online state; and 
 executing, by the computing system, the DCV, wherein the executing the DCV comprises:
 collecting, by the computing system, one or more first view components associated with the first view definition, wherein at least one of the one or more first view components associates the account with the first entity; 
 reconciling, by the computing system, the at least one of the one or more first view components based at least in part on the second view definition, wherein the at least one of the one or more first view components is overwritten with at least one second view component associated with the second view definition and associates the account with the second entity; and 
 rendering, by the computing system, a third page view on the device based at least in part on the at least one reconciled view component.
